Breath taking color and brilliance! Beauty of
design never before seen in an automatic
phonograph! New and improved selectors!
These are the distinguishing features of the
Wurlitzer "Five Hundred” and "Six Hundred”
Automatic Phonographs.
The last word in the use of modern translucent
colored plastics, combined with selected wal-
nu* veneers and the generous use of chrome
^ etal trim make these Wurlitzer Phonographs
y far the most spectacular ever built!
p
Ven ^e record compartments of both of these
unitzer models take on new splendor with
eir Silver Cascade Backgrounds covered with
^ transparent plastic sheet that gives them
eQutiful brilliant color. This plastic sheet
^ Qkes it a simple matter to change the color
^ the background and to keep it clean. In the
^QVe Hundred” the record compartment also
s mirror sides that multiply the movement —
9 v© greater depth — flashing action.

An innovation in "Multi-Selector" design, the new piano type keyboard
selector of the Wurlitzer "Five Hundred" has irresistible play appeal.
Touch one of the white ivory keys and a green light in the numeral above
the key signals the record selected. To cancel selections simply press
keys from underneath. Made of metal with a white porcelain enamel
finish, the keys are indestructible — their width assures accurate selection.

The piano keyboard "Multi-Selector" is
grouped with a well lighted program
holder and brilliantly illuminated coin
slides, protected by tamper-proof guards
— all on a convenient easy-to-reach,
easy-to-see— level.

The sensational, changing, varicolored
illumination in the "Five Hundred" C ab ­
inet is simply obtained by means of
this plastic cylinder. It is rotated around
a lumiline bulb by a simple low volt­
age motor, geared down to 3 V 2 R. P. M.
Colors on this cylinder are of pure
plastic and are non-fading.
e name "Multi-selector" as used in this advertisement is registered in the U. S. Patent Office.

Brilliantly illuminated, translucent red plastic with chromium em­
bellishments, make the "Multi-Selector" dial of the Wurlitzer "Six
Hundred" the most beautiful ever designed for an automatic
phonograph. The large and generous size buttons are beveled
so that all are easily readable— preventing errors in selection.

Brilliantly lighted, coin slide 5c, 10c and 25c numerals on both
models are protected by a bronze guard. Patrons who try to
jam or abuse the slides will be foiled by this special tamper­
proof guard.
Both phonographs have the same Wurlitzer
life-like tone that has always had the enthu­
siastic approval of operators, location owners
and patrons. Both have the famous Wurlitzer
rugged cabinet construction and mechanical
chassis that have withstood the tests of time
on tens of thousands of locations.
Both have well lighted program holders at con­
REACHED
venient reading level — brilliantly illuminated
coin slide numerals — ample room for chang­
ing records from the front.
The ''Five Hundred" differs from the "Six Hun­
dred" principally in its larger size — moving
varicolored light in its corner plastic panels or
plastic grille panels at the operator's option,
the new piano keyboard selector and dual tone
control which provides independent control of
high and low tones.
Both phonographs will be sold on Wurlitzer's
Liberal Factory Trade-In Allowance Plan — a
policy that has been enthusiastically endorsed
by operators everywhere as the most construc­
tive step ever taken for greater prosperity to
the music operators of America.
